Phoenix Film's early-evening and prime time classic titles such as
Ein Heim für Tiere (ZDF),
Jacob und Adele (ZDF),
Dr. Stefan Frank (RTL Television) or
OP ruft Dr. Bruckner (RTL Television) are fresh in mind. The Berlin production company has a lasting influence on the present German TV landscape with strong programme brands driving viewer loyalty, such as the family series
Unser Charly and
Hallo Robbie! (both ZDF) as well as the series
Edel & Starck which is the most successful Sat.1 series to be launched in this slot.
The company's proven track record in TV movies includes Du bist nicht allein - Die Roy Black Story (RTL Television) starring Christoph Waltz, Adrenalin (RTL Television) starring Til Schweiger, and current ratings hits such as Am Kap der Liebe (ARD).
Most recently Phoenix Film produced beside the long term series Unser Charly (ZDF) and Hallo Robbie! (ZDF) formats such as Zwei Herzen und zwölf Pfoten (ZDF), the historical series Unter den Linden (Sat.1) as well as together with Grundy UFA the successful telenovela Verliebt in Berlin (Sat.1). Beside the contemporary formats, recent developments such as Allein unter Bauern (Sat.1) starring Christoph M. Ohrt, or Doktor Martin (ZDF) starring Axel Milberg, are in process. Phoenix Film is also taking part in the innovative field of Mobile TV with its productions of the horror-series Kill Your Darling.
Markus Brunnemann has the strategic focus on expanding the core competence - series production - to weekly drama. The company improves its production-driven processes and technologies in this field. In the future, more long-term series will be produced using the cost-effective "Industrial Production" method.
